The fighters placed in their posts. The retiarius on top of the platform and a secutor on each side. Only when the trumpets sounded did the public realize that a new group of gladiators was already in the arena, and the amphitheater fell silent just before the bout began.

Obviously, Crixus was given missus and both gladiators left the arena by their own feet. Some spectators even started asking for the rudis for Crixus and the editor gave an inquisitive look to his friend... but only to enjoy the panicked face of the lanista, considering the idea of losing his best gladiator. Although such a fact would make people talk about the games and his generosity for decades, the price that his friend had charged him for the gladiators had been a real favor... and he knew how to return favor. Crixus would fight again another day.

Undoubtedly, this would have been a great finishing touch for his games, but there was still one last bout. It can hardly match the emotion and tension of the battle between the thraex and the murmillo, but a fight for the pontoon between a retiarius and two secutores is not something that you see every day...

------------------------------------------------I apologize again for not having already published the result of the last match... Nic is in lead, but, as he is the author of the game, in case he wins he will give the prize to the second classified. So nothing is decided yet! The second place is very contested... and the status of the next bet is as follows:

The victory of Scorpus will be paid to 3.8 to 1 and Flama and Astivus victory 1.36 to 1. This time, I will not post the bet that each one has made in the fight. That way we'll keep uncertainty a little, because I'm telling you that nothing has been decided yet!
